'Target is to fight for top in Bundesliga, and go far in Champions League': Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus

Hindustan Times  

In 2013, when Borussia Dortmund played Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, it appeared that German football would see a major shift. While Bayern Munich had dominated the club football in Germany for the past several years, Dortmund's re-rise in the early 2010s, brought upon by some of the bright young stars of football, gave hopes that the Bundesliga may become a more competitive league it once used to be. Ahead of the start of the 2021/22 season, Dortmund's star-forward Marco Reus stressed that the club wants to regain the top position in the Bundesliga and wishes to bridge the gap with Bayern Munich. In one year, everything now has to work out to have a chance against a team like Bayern Munich, who are the leaders in the Bundesliga," Reus said in a reply to a question posed by Hindustan Times at a Borussia Dortmund media roundtable for BVB's digital summer tour.
